What I wore:
Knit: blue Mossman knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag
Why I wore it:
This was one of those days that just did not go well. The plan was a brief stop to pick up a few things in Kmart, maybe have a browse, and then head back home in time for a doctor's appointment.The reality was me arriving at the shopping centre, then almost immediately rushing in looking for anyone with ice and / or first aid skills. After everything was okay, I had a bit of a shell shocked browse around Kmart missing half the things I needed to get, before going to the doctors. Not my best day!
Thankfully no major damage done, my son's injury looked worse than it was and all of the blood washed out of this knit (I decided to risk it and throw it in the normal wash with normal detergent, it held up okay!). And I did like the outfit. Horrible day, but otherwise lovely outfit!
Blue and purple is a colour combination I wear often, and I felt this Balenciaga work bag was overdue a wear. I like how nicely it matched the purple skinny jeans, you know I like a bit of matchy-matchy in my outfits sometimes.
Last worn: blue knit, purple skinny jeans, silver ballet flats, Balenciaga work bag. First time I've worn the scarf on the blog as it is a recent addition to my wardrobe.
Other ways to wear: blue knit over a maxi dress, purple skinny jeans and kimono, silver ballet flats and skinny jeans, Balenciaga work bag and pencil skirt.
Perfect for pregnancy: purple skinny jeans in first trimester, silver ballet flats in third trimester.
Balenciaga Handbag Collection:
What I wore:
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl parrot print scarf (c/o)
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Balenciaga truffle brown RH classic day bag
Why I wore it:
Since I liked the blue knit and colourful skinny jeans combo in the first outfit, I wore the same outfit formula a few days later. For a much more relaxed day!It was a lot windier than expected though and I did wish that I'd put a long sleeved tee under this knit instead of the short sleeved one I did. It made it a little chilly when playing outside in the playground at playgroup with the boys.
This parrot print scarf is frequently worn with green - with the green birds in the print it's just to easy to wear it with the green jeans! I loved how all of the colours came together in this outfit, even if it wasn't as warm as I'd have liked.
The white Converse seemed like a good neutral shoe choice with the other colours, and I went with a neutral bag as well, my Balenciaga day bag. While I did like matching the bag and jeans like I did in the first outfit, I don't have a green bag to wear with this outfit.
Last worn: blue jumper, parrot print scarf, green skinny jeans, Converse, Balenciaga Day bag.
Other ways to wear: blue jumper and pink, parrot print scarf and teal, green skinny jeans with mustard, Converse and shift dress, Balenciaga Day bag and shorts.
Perfect for pregnancy: blue jumper in first trimester, Converse in second trimester, Balenciaga Day bag for second trimester travel.
Blue Knits Under $50:
How You Can Wear It:
Blue knits are a nice way to add some colour to your cold weather wardrobe, working in spring, autumn or winter. For an extra touch of colour, try wearing them with colourful denim. I love blue and purple and blue and green together. Having the bright jeans was a good way to try other colour combinations. Of course you can also pair a blue knit with a neutral black or grey pair of jeans if you'd prefer.Linking up with Fashion Frenzy, Style On The Daily, Oh Hey Girl, Fun Fashion, Weekend Wear, Flashback Fashion.

That parrot scarf is such a fun accessory! It really goes perfectly with the cobalt blue and green! I am glad your son wasn't hurt badly and you were able to get the stains out of your sweater! How stressful that all must have been!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura! It was stressful, but it's all good now :)
DeleteColourful skinny jeans are the absolute best; such a fun way of injecting some colour and cheerfulness into colder weather outfits. Both of these jeans look great on you and make me want to head out and add some to colourful denim to my wardrobe!!

ReplyDeleteI agree defaulting to blue is always a good idea. I love the blues and plum together as well as the emerald green combination. I certainly hope that you and your children are better by now. Sending warm hugs.
